• Are you noticing any trends in neighborhoods or property types that are performing better?
• Any tools, partnerships, or strategies that have helped you spot opportunities faster?

If you don't want to spend a lot on marketing, wholesalers and realtors that are investor facing realtors to get deals for you.

If you are looking to spend money and get the deals yourself and not pay high fees but pay a lot in marketing to get the deals with some better numbers PPC/PPL.

As Caleb said, the three are still the main pipelines.  MLS deals are out there as long as you can ensure the numbers work.  Doing one now that will have a good payout and we got it from a terrible listing and even worse photos.  A lot of agents think that homes that need work only warrant a few cell phone pictures and a line saying "As Is" . . .

The wholesalers need to be vetted - a lot of people are paying for courses to make money with no investment and have no business doing wholesaling.  Ask the wholesaler how long they have been doing it, how many deals a month they offer up and how many are solid enough to get investors to buy them.  We have no problem paying a finders fee for quality leads but you need the right one.

REIGs are great ways to meet other investors and see who is selling flip type properties - cheap investment in your business
